You are right. It is ONE of the best ways to get your daily exercise.

Drove this before, it's an Audi A6 bought in 99 and sold in April 06
Then I changed to a smaller one Mercedes C230 bought in Fed 06
much cheaper than the A6 and can also save some gas.
I couldn't find the A6 picture so here is the owner manual
PS I was quite suprised that I could find the owner manual

Wow talk about feeling like a fish out of water...
I drive a 1997 GMC pickup. It runs good, has been paid off for forever and as a homeowner I can't imagine not having a pickup truck. I only work 9 miles from home so I might as well keep it.


My wife drives a '99 Pontiac Grand Am. It still has low miles on it and it's probably worth less than my watch. May as well keep that too.

So No, I guess my watch doesn't match my cars.

Judge not. I'm not wealthy. I live in a small house and we drive older cars (but I do have beautiful taste in watches).

but for whatever a luxury car or a small compact,
eventually it will depreciate to zero value
but our watches won't, at least it will keep its value
for me i wouldn't put a lot of money into cars

No sports car now. Had a 5.0 Mustang, 5 speed manual. Now my truck. Hardly drive it due to insane gas prices. Wife and I mostly carpool in her Jeep. Drop off the kids at their school then we go to school. Our schools are next to each other so it ain't that bad.

As a side-note, the LT1's exhaust cam specs were also revised in 1993 to bump torque up to 340 ft-lbs; up 10 from the previous year. Horsepower remained at 300 bhp.

Is that a ZR1 under the cover?

I drive a Mercedes ML, once my divorce is settled I'm having an "out with the old" thing, fancy a XK8 but seriously considering a Shelby Mustang from Florida.

BTW: Also treating myself to a TT GMTc as a "goodnight & thank-you" gift

If they're your favorite band, you should trade that German hulk for a Red Barchetta.

I used to own this, but sold it to start my own business. It was a great car & a real head turner. The YM suited it perfectly.
